Donegal bye-election

4 Nov 2010
"To be fair, we have given no consideration collectively to the situation created by Jim McDaid. That just hasn't come up yet for consideration."  The Fianna Fail Chief Whip, John Curran on RTE's Morning Ireland denying that any date had been set for the "other three" bye-elections.
But it is just not credible that the government didn't discuss the situation created by McDaid's resignation when they met to discuss the outcome of the court decision last night. Given their narrow majority it would have been irresponsible NOT to discuss it.
How long do they think they will survive ?
